Ingredients

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons roasted wattleseed
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1.25 cups warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons of roasted wattleseed, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 2.25 teaspoons of instant yeast.

Step 2

Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 1.25 cups of warm water, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and 0.25 cups of milk.

Step 3

Mix the ingredients with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.

Step 4

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Lightly grease a large bowl with olive oil, place the dough in the bowl, and cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Step 6

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

Punch down the risen dough and shape it into a loaf. Place the dough in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 8

Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until it puffs up slightly and nearly doubles in size.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.

Step 10

Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
